Due to some...unfortunate events, I didn't have access to a computer for a week. I also have a truckload of homework and exams from school. Fun =_=. So those are the reasons why it has taken my over two weeks to update this. I am terribly sorry. But have fun with this new chapter!
It had been a week since Geo and company had been defeated by the new, mysterious figures. Geo's injuries were now almost fully healed. He wanted to go out and find a way to save Sonia earlier, but was restrained by Ace, who had told him to rest. Despite wanting to go out faster, he had to agree with Ace. Even if he did go out, he wouldn't have been able to do much. Geo was currently lying down on his bed, resting while doing a little bit of thinking.
"I wonder if Ace will let me finally go out today." Geo thought to himself. He sat up on his bed and took out his Hunter-VG.
"Hey, Mega," Geo said, as Omega-Xis appeared in front of him.
"Yeah, what is it?" Mega asked.
"Have all your injuries healed yet?"
"Yeah, I sustained less damage than you in that fight. If you're close to being fully healed, then I should be too. Not to mention that I am stronger than you."
"What was that?" Geo asked, as the two started laughing amongst themselves. They had finally settled down when Geo got a message on his Hunter-VG.
"Hmm? Looks like I got a message from Ace?" Geo said, staring at his Hunter-VG.
"Well, aren't you gonna open it?" Mega asked.
"What do you think I was about to do?" Geo said, as he opened up the message.
Come to the main control room ASAP! -Ace
"What does it say?" Mega asked.
"He says he wants me to go the main room. And he seemed pretty urgent about it too," Geo replied.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
"Right!" Geo said, as he ran out of his room and started to head towards WAZA's main control room. When he got there, he saw that everyone else was there too, with the exception of Solo, who had wandered of somewhere a while ago.
"Ace! What did you call me here for? And why did you seem so rushed?" Geo asked, as he entered the room.
"Ah, Geo. You're finally here. See for yourself," Ace said, as he pointed to a screen. There was a person on the screen. He had snow-white hair that went just below his shoulders. He also had red, menacing eyes. He was in a dark place so it was hard for them to see the rest of his features.
"Who is that?" Geo wondered.
"Ah, you're finally here, Geo Stelar. Or should I say, Megaman," the person on the screen said.
"W-who are you? And how do you know my name?" Geo asked.
"You don't need to know who I am. And relax. There is no need to be alarmed. I'm not going to do anything to harm you, yet," the figure on the screen said, as Geo cringed a bit.
"What are you doing here?"
"Well, well, aren't we the impatient one. In that case, I'll just get to the point. From the battle you've fought last week, I have reason to believe that you are really close to one of my subordinates."
"One of his subordinates? What does he mean…wait! Is he talking about…" Geo thought, as he was interrupted by a voice.
"If you haven't figured it out already, then I just show you. I'm talking about her," the person said, as the screen moved to show Doom Note. She was still unconscious and it looked like she was in a bit of pain. All of a sudden, dark electricity surged through her body and she screamed in pain.
"SONIA!" Geo yelled, as he saw what was happening on the screen.
"So my predictions were correct. You did know this girl before I…did something to her," the figure said.
"What did you do to her? I swear if you hurt her, I'll kill you!" Geo said, as he wanted to run up and punch the screen. However, he was restrained by Ace and Bud, who were trying to hold him back from doing anything stupid.
"Geo, calm down!" Ace yelled, as he was holding Geo back.
"Yeah, it's not like you would hurt him if you punched the screen anyways," Bud said, as he was doing the same.
"Let me go!" Geo said, as he was interrupted by light chuckling.
"It seems like you people can't even cooperate amongst yourselves. No wonder you lost to my subordinates so badly," the person on the screen said.
"What did you say?" Geo asked.
"Anyways, enough of that. I didn't come here to argue with you. Now, where was I? Oh yes, I was surprised that you still remembered who this girl was. Either that device is starting to get old or you had a really strong bond to this girl before."
"Where are you getting with all of this?"
"You want to save this girl, don't you?" the figure said, as Geo's eyes widened.
"I take that as a yes. So you really want to save this girl, right? I'll give you the chance to do so. I'm going to…" the figure started, as there was a bunch of commotion coming from the other side of the door. Everyone in the room quieted down and listened as they heard some arguments on the other side.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Shut up! We're doing this for your own good."
"Let go of me! If I wasn't injured right now, I'd cut you up until nothing was left!" Everyone wondered what the commotion was all about. The door opened up to reveal three Satella police officers trying to restrained Solo, who had a couple of injuries on him.
"For the last time, let me go or else you're gonna get it!" Solo said annoyed.
"Well, well, well…if it isn't the cocky, arrogant little boy." Solo's eyes perked up as he heard a familiar voice. He turned to the screen to see someone very familiar to him.
"You…what are you doing here?" Solo asked the person on the screen.
"Are we the rude ones? Is that anyway to address your teacher?" the figure on the screen replied, shocking everyone in the room.
"You're not my teacher anymore! You never were! Not ever since that day!"
"That hurt. To hear those words coming out of my star pupil."
"Why you…" Solo started, as he was cut off.
"Let's end this pointless banter now. I don't have much time left. As I was saying before," the person said looking back at Geo, "you want to save this girl, right? She must mean a lot to you. I'm going to give you a chance at saving her. Here are the coordinates to my ship. If you really want to save this girl, you can follow these coordinates to get to my ship. Come if you want, I don't really care. I have to go now. Bye…for now," the figure said, as the screen went blank.
"Wait! Come back here!" Geo and Solo said simultaneously. Both of them stared at the blank screen, but nothing happened and there was an awkward moment of silence until Geo thought of something.
"Hey, Solo?" Geo said.
"Yeah, what do you want?" Solo replied.
"Did you know that person that was on the screen before? He said he was your teacher and he called you his star pupil."
"That's for me to know and for you and the rest of these idiots to never find out."
"C'mon. If you tell us who he is, we might have a better chance of rescuing Sonia."
"Like I care what happens to you and your little girlfriend. I told once and I'm going to tell you again: I'm not gonna to tell you anything. Now that we have that out of the way, I'm going to leave," Solo said, as he made his way to the exit. However, a hand appeared on his shoulder and prevented him from leaving. Solo turned around to see Ace with his hand on his shoulder.
"Let me go," Solo said.
"Or what?" Ace replied
"Let me go or else I'll have to kill you."
"I'd like to see you try. With all those injuries, you wouldn't even last a minute against me."
"Is that a challenge?"
"It could you
"Guys, stop fighting!" Geo said.
"Yeah, we should be fighting against the enemy, not each other," Bud said.
"Stay out of this. You said that I wouldn't last one minute against you, right? Well, I'm going to prove you wrong. I'm going to defeat you in less than a minute. Transcode: Rog…" Solo was about to EM Wave Change until he felt and sharp pain in his stomach.
"Crap!" Solo said, as he fell to the floor and coughed up a bit of blood.
"I told you that you wouldn't last a minute," Ace said, as he approached Solo.
"Damn you!" Solo said, as he slowly and weakly got up, only to fall back down to the ground.
"Get some paramedics and get him to a room," Ace said, as people came and transported Solo to a room.
"So what do we do now?" Geo asked.
"We can't do much now. That person we were just talking to did give us the coordinates to the ship. However, I don't think any of us are strong enough to defeat the people there. If we went there now, it would just be a suicide mission," Ace said.
"So what are we supposed to do now?"
"We could wait for Solo to wake up and tell us some information on that person, since he seems to have some knowledge that we don't have."
"But you heard him before, I don't think he's gonna tell us much."
"We'll have to find some way to make him tell us."
"In that case, since we aren't doing anything right now, can I go out and train?"
"Well, let's see. You seem to be in a better condition now. Fine, you can go out to train. But don't overdo it. The last thing we want is for you to get injured again."
"Don't worry. I'll be fine. Alright, let's go Mega," Geo said.
"Finally, some action!" Mega said excitedly, as both he and Geo left the building.
"Can I go out to train too?" Bud asked.
"Sure. You're in better condition than Geo, so why not?" Ace said.
"Okay, thanks. I'll get going then," Bud said, as he also left the building.
"We should do some training too," Acid suggested.
"Yeah, I know," Ace said, as he walked off to another part of the building.
Meanwhile…
"Alright, let's begin! Transcode: Megaman!" Geo said, as he became well-known Megaman.
"So, uhhh…what should we do first?" Megaman asked.
"Beats me. You were the one who wanted to come out here to train so badly, so I thought that you would have some idea in what you wanted to do," Mega said.
"Well, I didn't actually plan that far ahead, ehehehe."
"*sigh* you're hopeless," Mega said, as he facepalmed.
One hour later…
"Red Gaia Eraser!" Red Joker Megaman yelled, as he launched his attack into a remote area far away from anybody else. In the past hour, Geo had found a good, open place to train in and was now trying to improve the power of his attacks.
"Dammit!" Red Joker Megaman said, as he fell down to his knees and punched his fist onto the ground, "I'm still not strong enough. There's no way I can beat her the way I am now."
"Hey kid. Don't beat yourself up like this. If you're not strong enough now, just keep trying until you are," Mega said.
"I know, but still. How long will I have to train to only be able to prevent myself from dying in battle? By the time I actually train hard enough to be able to defeat her, something bad may have already happened to her," Red Joker Megaman said, as he got back on his feet.
"Alright, enough of that then. Let's keep going."
Meanwhile…
Solo woke up in dark, unfamiliar room. He had bandages on his injuries and he wasn't in that much pain anymore. He looked around to check if anyone was there. Once he checked that no one was here, he gathered up all his stuff and quietly left the room. He then secretly and stealthily made it out of the building without anyone noticing.
"Hmph, some kind of security they have. Someone could easily break in there and steal everything without anyone even knowing. Well, it's not my problem," Solo said, as he started to move away from the building. As he was walking away, he remembered what happened before he passed out.
"So we finally meet again, eh?" Solo thought in his head, "I thought that I had seen the last of you, but I guess I was wrong. No matter. Now that you're here, I can take you out once and for all." As he continued on walking, images and voices from the past began appearing in his head.
"Hello, my name is… and I will be your instructor this year."
"I wanna be just like him when I grow up!"
"Good job, Solo! Keep up the good work."
"H-how could you do such a thing?"
"Silly, little boy. You're too trusting. You rely too much on others."
"I'll kill you!"
"I'll finally take my revenge for you've done," Solo thought as he walked off somewhere into the distance.
Meanwhile…
After two long hours of training, Megaman was exhausted and barely had enough energy left to lift an arm.
"I think we should stop here today. You heard what Ace said, don't overdo it or else you could be in trouble," Mega warned Megaman.
"I know that, but…if I don't train…harder, I'll never…be strong enough…in time," Megaman said, as he was panting heavily.
"It won't matter how strong you are when you're dead."
"Tch, I guess you're right," Megaman said, as he pulsed out and was Geo again.
"Let's go home then. It'll be nice to finally be able to sleep in my house after about a week," Geo said, as he slowly made his way back home. After a while, Geo finally managed to get back home. When he went into the house, everyone was already asleep
"Guess I've been training for a while," Geo thought to himself.
Geo quietly went into his own room and closed the door behind him. After taking a shower and getting into his pyjamas, he was about to go to bed when he heard a noise coming from his Hunter-VG. He went over to check it out and saw that he had a new message. However, there was no name from who the sender was. It just said "unknown".
"Are you going to open that?" Omega-Xis asked.
"Uhhhhh…sure, why not? How bad could it be," Geo said as he opened up the message.
"This is…this is…"
If I have less of a workload this week, I should be able to get out a new chapter by next week. However, you never know what may happen. I could have lots of work or my computer could just suddenly blow up. But that probably won't happen...I hope.
